Would someone be kind enough to share a screenshot showing the $249 price and also the current date and time, so that we non elite folks can use it for price protection claims with credit card and save ourselves from the rush next week

Trying to decide if I should make the jump to this iPad for $250 or get the iPad Mini 4 which I believe will be the same price and from what I have read, while two years have passed since the Mini 4 was released, it has a better screen by all accounts and much larger capacity at 128GB compared to the full size iPad at 32GB.

Unsure if the Mini is being discontinued or not, some website seem to suggest it since it has not been updated in two years.

My bad. Just checked. I am an elite member..No idea how that happened. I got it for 249.99. I haven't bought a thing from BB since last BF and it was around $200 worth of stuff and not the $1500 that's required to become an elite member.

I'm thinking it may be discontinued, unfortunately (the Mini). Not "officially" (yet) but it doesn't appear to be on the road map for an update or refresh which doesn't bode well for an Apple product as far as remaining a viable product line. Which is a shame, because I've been a huge Mini fan from the first iteration. I love my Mini 4 (own both the 64 and 128 versions) and have no desire to go to the full-size iPad even though the "new" one is priced nicely. I much prefer the smaller form factor and have become endeared to it very much. I would love to be wrong and see the Mini 5 announced but I'm not holding my breath, to say the least.
